This is my first attempt at customizing a Polaris action figure.  The original figure was a Battle Suit Rogue figure from the X-Men the Movie ToyBiz line ($2.99 at KayBee, now priceless! *grin*) I started with a cheap figure and a simple costume (Steve Epting, X-Factor costume #4) to see if I had a knack for this before moving on to more expensive figures. There was quite a bit of plastic bits to be removed from this figure which I accomplished with a razor blade and sandpaper. I don't recommend that method if you are short on time or value your fingers. I'm pretty satisfied with the way she turned out considering I'd never done this before. Yellow paint is the spawn of satan and I am already cursing Marvel for dressing her in yellow every chance they get. The face was the scariest bit, but it turned out all right I think.
